First run in 1921, in memory of the men who had fallen in
the Great War, this grueling 88km challenge, held mid-year
between Pietermaritzburg and Durban, is recognized as one
of the world's great ultra distance events. The start and

Spar Mercury Ladies 10km Challenge
22/06/2008
Venue: Sahara Park (Kingsmead)
Contact: Gavin
031-312 9374
If a marathon seems daunting, the 10km SPAR Ladies
challenge provides less distance but just as much
camaraderie. Bigger than the Comrades in entries and
support, the race is aimed at women but there are several
brave men who enter - and dress for the part! Although
it's a serious race with prize money attached, many take
the opportunity to enjoy a fun race, dressing up and
obtaining sponsorship for charity.
